Re: Driving that 4EAT

Hmmmm.... why do you guys shift into neutral while standing still?

None of the clutches are applied - the input shaft still turns... I remember an issue with the 4speed ZFs in Range Rovers, Volvos and lots of other vehichles. A seal passed a little bit of flow to the A clutch apply piston and the relief drilling was too small causing burning of the said clutch while in neutral.

If you are standing still in first gear all rotating components are still - no slip. The only thing is the converter is producing a little bit of more heat compare to being in neutral.

Any comments?

PS I think only the JDM VTD has the 3,7 gearing.
